Township resident Skip Schaefer speaks to the Township Council about the proposed “Peace and Nonviolence” monument park.
The topic of placing a “Peace and Nonviolence” memorial on township open space was once again the topic at a Township Council meeting, with residents telling the council on June 26 that they do not support the proposal.
The idea of placing statues and busts of Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Nelson Mandella and Martin Luther King, Jr. on part of the former Consolata Mission property is championed by Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad (D-At Large). It has been Prasad’s dream to erect such a memorial for at least 10 years.
